The live-action movie adaptation of "Masters of the Universe" is making further progress: It has now been announced who will take on the role of Evil-Lyn, Skeletor's second-in-command.

The role will be played by Alison Brie, who, according to The Hollywood Reporter, was able to secure the coveted role. Brie achieved fame thanks to comedy series such as "Community" and "Glow", but she also managed to win over audiences in the acclaimed "Promising Young Woman".

The starring role of Prince Adam will be played by Nicholas Galitzine, who was last seen in the romantic comedy "The Idea of You" alongside Anne Hathaway. "Riverdale" actress Camila Mendes will play the role of Teela. Of course, we are eager to find out which actors will play the other characters such as Skeletor or Orko.

"Masters of the Universe" will be directed by Travis Knight, who wowed everyone with the animated adventure "Kubo and the Two Strings" and has previously also been involved in the "Transformers" franchise with "Bumblebee". "Masters of the Universe" is written by Chris Butler - known for "ParaNorman" and "Missing Link". On June 5, 2026, we will have the chance to watch "Masters of the Universe" for ourselves, as this is the day it opens in theaters.
